A muscle-bound mum-of-two transformed her post-baby body into the washboard stomach of champions – just like pin-up turned iron-pumper Jodie Marsh.

Amy Humble, 26, from Hull, East Yorks, spent a year transforming her body so she could look like Essex girl Jodie – and now she has scooped her first body-building crown.

Busty Jodie stunned her army of admirers in 2011 when she unveiled her new pumped-up look – dropping from a size ten to a size six after eight weeks of weight training and a strict no-booze diet.

And now Amy – who followed a punishing six-day weight training regime – has followed in her idol's footsteps, winning a National Amateur Body Builders Association comp.

And just like Jodie, Amy, who is mum to Lily, eight, and Brooklyn, six, swapped her eye-catching curves for a stunning six-pack, completely transforming her former size 10 post pregnancy body to a toned size eight.

Amy said: "I did face criticism when I first started weight training. People have this idea that you will get big and look like a man if you train with weights but it's not been like that at all.

"Jodie Marsh inspired me. She looks great - just like her I wanted to have a great physique and still look feminine. I really admire her."

Amy, who worked as a usher at Hull Magistrates' Court, would get up at 6am to lift weights and in the run up to her first body-building competition she even gave up her job to spend more time pumping iron with personal trainer Dan Welburn.

She was stunned to win her first bodybuilding competition in June - and now holds the title of Miss Toned Figure.

Amy added: "Before I started weight training I hated the gym and my belly wasn't toned because I was eating the wrong foods and the weight was just going on my stomach.

"I have always been inspired by Jodie Marsh but I'd never trained using weights so I was a bit intimidated.

"I was stunned when I won the Miss Toned Figure competition. My dream was to come in the top six but I could not believe it when I came joint first.

"It didn't sink in for ages and, once I was back at home, I just kept looking at the photographs."

Amy, who now works at Xercise4Less gym and hopes to become a personal trainer, said: "I would love to inspire other women and show them there's nothing to be afraid of by toning up."

As well as a tiring gym routine, Amy also followed a strict diet – eating lots of chicken, fish and steak with vegetables and plain carbs like rice and potatoes.

She added: "My partner Craig, 28, was there for me 24/7. He has helped me achieve my goals.

"And my kids love it and they like to say how their mum is training weights and they would like to do it when they are older.

"I'm really happy with where I am now and what I have achieved. I wouldn't change my lifestyle for anything now.
